The Open Folder command allows you to open any data folder, then drag and drop a data file into Benderlink for EL.  Benderlink accepts filenames with $$$, EL, and MES (Aicon) filename extensions.

== [[image:Check.jpg|25px]] CHANGE: Benderlink NO Longer Minimizes to the Notification Area ==
 
 
Minimizing to the notification area of Windows (lower right corner) was less helpful than we had planned.  In some cases it was confusing.  The operator would believe that Benderlink was no longer running when it was.  So we've removed that feature.

== [[image:Check.jpg|25px]] REPAIR: Benderlink Now Handles EXTENDED Eaton Leonard Data Properly ==
 
 
The previous version would not handle EXTENDED data properly.  Extended values would appear as 0.000 in the log when they had been edited to some non-zero number. This issue is now repaired.

Some sub-folders are necessary for Benderlink to run and store information.  These folders are now verified every time Benderlink is run.
